Mario jump-man Mario, one of the biggest iconic game characters of all time and one of

the only game characters with the longest game series out so far. There are over a hundred
known games existing now and is continuing to grow to this day. Since 1981 until now, Mario
has gone through drastic changes such as: graphics, styles, and new characters introduced into
the series. Donkey Kong, created by Shigeru Miyamoto, was only the spark that ignited many
sequels, prequels, and Marios fame such as Donkey Kong Jr. and Super Mario Bros.
